Terrified

[Mum7b]

I am due to have my 7th baby and 3rd c section in approx 3-4 weeks and I am terrified. Just as I think I am ok anxiety kicks in and I feel I can't breathe, it's awful and I feel so stupid about it, I honestly feel like I am counting down the days until die 😞 not the days until I meet my little boy. I just don't know how to shake it. I have had 4 vaginal deliveries 1-4 and my last two were c sections 5 was breech and 6 was complications during VBAC which nearly resulted in us both dying. I am have a planned c section this time I honestly don't know how to remain calm has anyone else been like this ?

Sorry don't know how to move the post have posted in the wrong category in case it appears twice

I am having a planned section this time (my second baby) and can say I feel nervous about it but not quite the same level.

Have you told your midwife about how you feel? They might be able to offer you some support? Xxx

you poor thing ask the midwife if there are any pregnancy groups in your area you should find someone to talk to

Thank you for the replies, I have spoken to my consultant this week and told her just how anxious I am she said it's understandable. I have been referred to the mental health team by my midwife for some support before my section. I am so scared and I am trying to keep calm but then something will trigger these emotions again.

Your feelings are quite understandable but I am sure you will be absolutely OK.
Please keep us up to date and all the best. At the end of it, you'll have a lovely little baby.
and no more than two . x

Thank you I will keep you updated and yes will be good just 1 lol. Going to get positive mantra going to help me I think. X
